Libraries/Muslim Student Association sponsor Book Discussion

Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim JourneysPlease join the UT Libraries and the UT Muslim Student Association this Spring as we read and discuss The Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.

We’ll kick off the program at the UT MSA meeting on Thursday, February 7th at 6 p.m. in Student Union Room 2591, where we’ll have a brief introduction of the book and distribute free copies.  If demand exceeds supply, more copies can be ordered at the meeting from OhioLINK partner libraries.

The discussion itself will take place during Islamic Awareness Week on Tuesday, March 19th at 6 p.m. in Student Union 2582 after we’ve all had a chance to read the book.   You can RSVP for the book discussion at our Facebook event page.

More information about the book and the program is available at the Muslim Journeys LibGuide.  This discussion is part of the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys.
